I have always admired Abraham Lincoln but after reading this book I reverence his self mastery and know that this a study that will bless my own character for my whole life. I wish I would have read it sooner. Lincoln was an incredible human.

I have listened to over a dozen audio books of President 's biographies and this is one of the best. It puts the remarkable life of Lincoln in the context of the times and those around him. The writing is informative, colorful, touching and entertaining. There was a perfect mix of his work and personal life. I truly enjoyed this and highly recommend it.

Before this audio book I was listening to Trump Fire and Fury. Lincoln Rivals was the perfect follow up book. I was able to appreciate a competent leader with the ability to make decision and show compassion for others.

Another great book by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Her books are always well researched and provide a great insight into the person. I learned a great deal about Lincoln and his cabinet. it will make you more appreciative of the type of person Lincoln was.

I thought this book did a great job describing the Civil War era and everything that surrounded Abraham Lincoln's election and leadership through the Civil War. The author could have better articulated and extrapolated more some of the principles or lessons that Abraham Lincoln used to lead his Team of Rivals. this was voice texted.
